Proud Mama!

Humor me while I brag a little.  

This is my Sam along with her favorite teacher.  (Is Sammi really tall, or her teacher just really short?)  She was honored for the 3rd year in a row at academic night.  That means straight A's (no B's) for the entire school year. And she's in accelerated math and Language.  

I sure love this "smarty pants" of mine!

Mother's Day wish list...

1. Any and all aprons from Anthropologie.
2.  This peanut butter stirrer -all natural for me.
3.  This egg slicer, apple slicer, or whatever slicer.
I know Mother's Day isn't about the gifts... but it doesn't hurt!

Caught in the act!

I love being and Aunt.  You can load the kiddos up on leftover chocolate ganache and other sweets, then send them home before the sugar rush hits.

When no one was looking, Porter was gulping chocolate by the spoonful.
No one else witnessed his sneakiness, so I should have taken it away.  But instead I took a picture.

A Day Off

I have a moment free from the kitchen tomorrow.  I have two more closets left to paint!  (I had all the closets redone with new shelves).  I have primed and painted them all except for 2.  I will have them done tomorrow if it kills me!

Wish me luck!

Baking and Bedtime

I feel like this blog has turned into a baking blog.  But I write about what is going on in my life, and right now it's a lot of baking.

I had another request for the cake I made for my mom's birthday.  But this little girl wanted butterflies, so she got them.  I like it even better that way.

On a side note, I was up late finishing a cookie order for tomorrow and Jeff said he'd put the kids to bed.  Here's what I found when I came upstairs.  

Gotta love dads!

Baking Frenzy!

Here's some pictures of what I was making this weekend.  These are the cookies I made for Designer Blvd's spring fling sale.  The bouquet is at the entrance and on Tuesday, they will be serving my cookies for an evening workshop.

My neighbor gave me this plate to inspire a birthday cake for her daughter's 2nd birthday. 

Here's what I came up with.

Funny Boy

I found this video on my camera.  I love it when my kids record little gems like this.
